Senior R&D Test Engineer

InfravisionAustin, TX

About The Position

Infravision is looking for a Senior R&D Test Engineer to help build and validate next-generation aerial robotics and autonomous systems for power grid modernization. This is a senior individual contributor role with a clear path to leading the test engineering function as the team scales — you will be the architect of our test infrastructure, not just an operator of it.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Robotics, or related engineering field.
  • 7–10+ years of experience in aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, UAVs, or advanced hardware test.
  • Experience with instrumentation, DAQ systems, telemetry, and environmental testing.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills — Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar; able to build automated test frameworks.
  • Hands-on troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, and software systems.
  • Experience conducting validation and qualification programs for high-reliability hardware.
  • Willingness to travel to operational sites domestically and internationally.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience scaling a test engineering function from scratch or leading a test team.
  • Background in aerospace, defense, or safety-critical hardware (DO-178C, DO-254, MIL-STD, or equivalent).
  • Experience with power electronics testing or high-voltage systems.
  • Familiarity with transmission, utility, or industrial equipment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead integrated test campaigns for aerial robotic systems and autonomous platforms, from bench validation through field deployment.
  • Design and commission test systems including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), environmental, endurance, vibration, and field test setups.
  • Develop automated test infrastructure using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or equivalent — building frameworks, not just running scripts.
  • Own data acquisition, telemetry, and instrumentation systems across the engineering program.
  • Drive root-cause investigations and reliability improvements in collaboration with mechanical, electrical, and software teams.
  • Support domestic and international field deployments.
  • Mentor junior engineers and establish scalable test engineering best practices as the team grows.
  • Define test priorities, manage the test program independently, and communicate findings clearly to engineering leadership.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation
  • Meaningful ownership (equity participation)
  • Competitive salary
